The seller’s gross revenue from such sales into Maine in the previous calendar year or current calendar year exceeds $100,000; or

The seller made such sales into Maine in at least 200 separate transactions in the previous calendar year or the current calendar year.

The state may bring a declaratory judgment action against remote sellers to establish the federal and state legal validity of the tax collection obligation. The obligation to collect and remit the sales and use tax required by the legislation may not be applied retroactively. If an injunction against the legislation is lifted, the obligation to collect sales and use tax applies from that date forward for persons covered by the injunction. The legislature overrode the Governor’s veto of the legislation. We expect litigation challenging the law to be filed as has happened in other states. (L.D. 1405 (S.P. 483), Laws 2017)
